"Kristofferson"
(Reed Nielsen / Anthony Smith)

I just walked in and you were gone
To your Mama's I suppose
It looks like you won't be back so I thought you ought to know
I found that note you left today it only took you half a page
I'm going to grab my old guitar take a pencil from the jar and fill in the empty space

[Chorus:]
I'm going to tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

In each line you're going to hear it's my fault and I miss you
I know it won't be in time it may not even rhyme
But it has to be is true

[Chorus:]
I'm going to tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus:]
I'm going to tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

[Outro:]
I'm going to drink this bottle of ninety proof and sing this song for you
Like Kristofferson would do
